I love big spectacle and showmanship, and it just doesn't get much "bigger" than Meat Loaf. Clap

What's there to say ... most people will know these albums. Well, maybe not Karrin Allyson - Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane ... it's Vocal Jazz, just what you would expect by the album title. Oh, and there's Scott Henderson - Tore Down House. Absolutely brilliant album, part Blues, part Jazz-Fusion, part both. Smile

Balls, though. I forgot about The Receiving End of Sirens and Steve Reich. And Anathallo and Coltrane.

It's ok I'll let you copy my list.

Equality, WHY IS KATY PERRY IN YOUR LAST.FM?

Because One of the Boys is a great pop album, and Ur So Gay is a song The Beatles wish they had written.

Hard to choose.  I won't include anything from on PA (except proto-prog and prog-related).  This list is not set in stone, just to get an idea of my tastes.  I'll limit it to 1 album per band.  In no particular order:

1. Metallica- Master of Puppets Carcass- Heartwork
2. Beastie Boys- Hello nasty
3. Faith No More- King For A Day
4. Primus- Frizzle Fry any Henry Rollins spoken word album
5. King's X- Dogman Armored Saint- Symbol Of Salvation
6. Chick Corea- My Spanish Heart
7. Judas Priest- Sad Wings Of Destiny
8. John Patitucci- John Patitucci
9. Ornette Coleman- The Shape Of Jazz To Come
10. Alice In Chains- Jar Of Flies (hard to choose between this and Dirt)

I'm probably leaving of something I really like. LOL

Fixed after reading the first post.
